5 PROGRAM ACTIVITY DESCRIPTIONS Health and Productivity Wellness Assessment 5 Credits REQUIRED The assessment will measure 5 medical and 7 lifestyle risk factors. Medical risk factors include body mass index (BMI); blood pressure; cholesterol; triglycerides; and glucose. Participants should be encouraged to enter this data in the assessment if it is available and current. Entering biometric data is optional, although height and weight values to measure BMI are required. Lifestyle risk factors include physical activity; fruits and vegetables; dietary fat; stress; alcohol; smoking; and seat belt use. Participants are required to answer all questions (except for the biometric measures) before advancing to the next set of questions. Immediately upon completion of the on-line Wellness Assessment, personal feedback is provided with customized recommendations for improvement, as needed. This report is accessible to participants at any time. Aggregate data is collected for interpretation of the population risk factors, and for future program design. Emphasis is placed on promoting and encouraging the participants to take the assessment at the beginning of each new program cycle (first 2-3 months); however, the assessment will be available throughout the wellness program annual cycle. Virtual Coaching 4 Credits Each / Max 8 Credits The Virtual Coaching program is a personalized, online tool designed to help participants take an active role in improving their health and quality of life. Start by picking a focus area such as healthy weight, taming stress or improving your nutrition. Then, set a goal, build a to-do list and get started toward reaching the first milestone. Participants will see recommended focus areas, goals and to-do s based on Wellness Assessment information, or they can choose to tailor the program to fit their needs. Weekly motivational reminders and customized meal plans, personalized fitness tools, tips to reduce stress and a final scorecard will keep participants on track toward their milestone. To earn credit for a milestone, complete at least 1 to-do per week for six weeks and a check-in assessment. Although participants may complete as many milestones as they want, only two completed milestones will count toward the program goal. Participants can complete multiple to-do items in their action plan each week, but only one to-do per week counts toward completing a six-week milestone. NEW! Community Event Form 2 Credits Each / Max 4 Credits You can receive 2 Credits for your participation in a community event which promotes your health and wellness. These can be programs, activities, or events available in your community, provided by local health and wellness providers, or sponsored by your employer. Examples of community/onsite events include: exercise events such as 5K Walks/Runs, cycling, swimming; blood drives; wellness lunch and learns; health seminars; safety training or other events or activities focused on health and wellness. To receive your credits, complete the Community Event Forms on the Healthy Lifestyles website by reporting the date of the community event/activity, the name of the event/activity, briefly describe the event/activity and type your name to certify that the information you provided is accurate and true. 5/8
